Churro Chex Party Mix

Raise your hand if you love churros. I mean, really, what’s not to love? They’re basically dough that’s fried until crunchy, then sprinkled with a dusting of sugar or cinnamon sugar. But if you don’t have a street fair or theme park near you that’s selling churros, not to worry.

We’ve partnered with Chex® to make churros a more snackable affair. By mixing the simply brilliant flavor of churros with the crunchy goodness of Rice Chex®, we’ve created a treat that’s perfect for snacking on during those lazy summer evenings around the campfire with friends. However, we’re sure you’ll be snacking on this stuff long after summer has ended. We can already hear your kids begging to have this mix packed in their lunch boxes when it’s time to go back to school.

While churros are particularly popular in Spain, Portugal and the Philippines, they’re also especially popular in the Southwestern United States. So if you’re one of our friends in the Southwest, we’re sure we don’t have to tell you about the wonders of churros. If you’re not up to the challenge of making homemade churros though, our Churro Chex® Party Mix is the perfect option. All it takes is 6 ingredients, a microwave, and no time at all.

If you’re making our mix for a party, it’s definitely a good idea to wait to make it until you hear the doorbell — if you make it any earlier, it’ll be all gone before the party even starts. That’s because this party mix is every bit as sweet n’ cinnamony, crunchy, and irresistible as real churros. Something about that sweet-spicy combo of flavors in this mix keeps you coming back for more. Need proof? Just put out of bowl of this Churro Chex® Party Mix at a party and watch how everyone hovers around it.
